Summary/Abstract: The crisis that started with the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 led, to a revival of the debate concerning the situation in economics as a science and as a field of education. Many participants of that debate have started to equate the economic crisis with a crisis of economics. The paper is a résumé of the author’s views on and interests in certain aspects of the crisis, transformation of the modern market economy, and the development of economics. Analysis of financialisation has been used as a starting point to present desirable changes in economics and economic education at the university level.
